Timothy opened his eye's again and he saw that he was surrounded by buildings. As he walked on through the village he deduced that most of the building where made out of clay or stucco. He then jumped onto of one of the building and then looked around at the rest of the buldings.
"So his inner world is modeled after the Hidden Sand." Well let's see..if i can find him." said Timothy
Timothy began to sense out any sign of life within the village and then he suddenly began to sense one.
"Alright that's him on the other side of the village. Let's get going then." said Timothy
He jumped from the rooftop and began to make is way across the village to his target.
...
Meanwhile in a large canyon area in the wall of the hidden sand Markus sat in a swing staring down at his hands. In his mind he thought about his past and all that he had been through since he was first born. With those thoughts it continued to bring him back to the fact that he had a monster sealed within him. Throughout his childhood he had no friends because everybody was scared of him. He remembered that when he would come down to the playground to play with the other children, but as soon as they saw him their parents would grab them and run off.
"Why...why was i chosen to carry his monster." signed Markus
"Who knows maybe it was destiny." said A voice
Markus looked around and there siting on the rocky edge of the cliff was Timothy looking down at him.
"Who are you?" asked Simon as he got up out of the swing.
"The names Timothy." greeted Timothy
Timothy jumped from the cliff and landed in front of Markus causing him take a step back.
"So your Markus the Jinchuriki of the Sand." said Timothy as he looked at Markus.
"How did you get in here?" asked Markus
He held out his right hand and a strange blade appeared with the handle being set in between two 6 inch blades looking like two knives wielded together.
"Nice weapon...i created something just like it." noted Timothy looking at the weapon.
"Answer my question...who are you and what are you ding in my mind?" asked Markus as he raised his blade.
"My name is Timothy and i'm hear to check up on you." replied Timothy
"Why?" asked Markus
"I'm doing that of my on accord." replied Timothy
Markus looked at Timothy trying to figure out his intentions, but he couldn't sense any bad intentions from him. He watched as Timothy walked over to the pond of water looked down at his reflection.
"You wanna know why you were chosen to be the vessel for a Chakra Beast?" asked Timothy
Markus looked at Timothy before he lowered the blades and they disappeared in a flash of light.
"I was born with that creature inside of me and I've since been an outcast." sighed Markus
"Looks like we've got a little something in common." replied Timothy
"What's that?" asked Markus
"We're both monsters." smiled Timothy
"What do you mean? Do must have a Chakra Beast sealed within you?" asked Markus
"No." replied Timothy
"If that's the case then how are you a monster? How can you understand what i'm going through?" asked Markus
"The path your walking down...that path of loneliness and thinking that you've got nobody who cares about you. Yea...i know about it." sighed Timothy
"It's been tough...I've never had anybody at my side to look out for me. I've been called a monster my entire life all because of the beast in me." sighed Markus
"I know...i was born a beast." shrugged Timothy
"What?" asked Markus
"I just learned in the past year that i'm part dragon as well as pokemon. It was funny to learn that i had more heritage that i thought." smirked Timothy
"So your a half-breed...dose anybody know?" asked Markus
"Well only a few people know at the moment." nodded Timothy
Timothy held out his hand causing a chair to appear in front of him in a flash of white light.
"But anyway before hand i wasn't as nice as i am now...though some say I'm still not really all that nice." noted Timothy
"How were you?" asked Markus
"About like you...i was cold, ruthless, uncaring and unforgiving. It was me against the world and anybody who thought different while trying to get in my way. I would crush them." explained Timothy
"Yea...because of this monster inside of me everybody see's me as a monster. I don't have anybody to care about, but myself and I've always had to defend for myself. I've had to become stronger to destroy anybody and anything that get in my way." replied Markus
"Yea that's how it is...didn't care about anything or anyone, but things started to change after awhile." stated Timothy
"What does that mean?" asked Markus
"That moment when you actually realize that you were never alone to began with." replied Timothy
"I still don't get it." said Markus
Timothy held up his hand causing a sphere of blue energy to form and began to float around. The sphere then began to shine before floating over to Markus who began to stare at the sphere. Suddenly images of Simon and Lisa appeared in the sphere and he saw that they were talking to Tanza and Shia.
"What is this?" asked Markus
"You thought you were alone for so long yet little did you know Lisa and your brother have always been there for you." replied Timothy
Markus thought about his life and Simon was there through the trials and hardship that he had endured. No matter what the village had put him through Simon had always had his back and tried to protect him whenever he could. Though he didn't know Lisa very well he though she had also tried to stick up for him as well. He knew that she had a crush on Simon and because of it she started to protect him when she could.
"You know your right...they've both been looking out for me as far as i can remember." said Markus
"Yea...it's takes a minute to realize it by yourself. It took a long time for me to realize that myself, but my friend help me actually realize it." nodded Timothy
"Who helped you realized it?" asked Markus
"Kachu." replied Timothy
Timothy pointed at the blue sphere causing Markus to look at it began to glow again this time Kachu appeared on it.
"You mean that Pikachu help you?" asked Markus
"Yea...even through it took a minute for it to penetrate my thick skull." chuckled Timothy
"How long have you known that Pikachu?" asked Markus
"He's been in my like since the beginning...since i was born. Even through he's my pokemon i see him more like my brother and my best friend." replied Timothy
"You've got somebody so close to you...how did you go throughout life without realizing it?" asked Markus
"Follow me." motioned Timothy
Timothy got up from the chair and began to jump up the side of the cliff with Markus following behind him. Timothy jumped from the top of the cliff and landed on another cliff with Markus landing on the ground behind him. Timothy stared out in front of him at the large wall of sand as it continued around the village.
"It was outside influences." stated Timothy
Markus lowered his head as he knew how much the words of other had hurt him in the past when he was a boy.
"I know." sighed Markus
"I guess it was because i was young that i let what people thought about me get to me and it turned me into a monster. I sought out only to get stronger for my own gain, but it was that which lead me to meet my friends." replied Timothy
"Yea...i want to become stronger...much stronger." nodded Markus
"Which brings me back to something. It was the Fourth Hoshikage of the Hidden Shadow that captured the beast and distributed them out to the other villages. Can you tell me why?" asked Timothy as he turned around.
"No." shrugged Markus
"Well it was said that the Fourth Hoshikage distributed the Chakra Beast in order to bring about an end to the wars that were ripping the region apart. After this the region got a long needed break from the shinobi wars, but the villages themselves had trouble containing the Chakra Beast that they received. I'm not sure which village started it, but with that said one of the villages began to experiment with Chakra Beast by sealing them in human vessels to see if they could learn to control the power of the Chakra Beast. During this time is when the first Jinchuriki came into being." explained Timothy
"What does that have to do with anything?" asked Markus
Timothy walked up to Markus and sat his hand on his shoulder before smiling.
"I know several Jinchuriki and I've read on those of the past that i could find, but none like you. Your unique." replied Timothy
"Huh...how am i unique?" asked Markus
Markus looked at Timothy as he began to glow with a blue energy, before taking a step back and raising his hand. All of a sudden Markus looked around as his world was suddenly starting to warp as if they were being transported somewhere. Markus looked back at Timothy and saw that he had suddenly started shining bright causing him to cover his eyes.
